Being autistic is not a definition of who you are.
We are each unique and special and an autism diagnosis does not change this. The stories featured on this page have been provided by autistic adults and children and their families who have chosen to contribute. They explain how their life experiences are different but also, in many ways the same and as individual as yours and mine.
Each person living with autism has to find a way of managing their personal characteristics but these stories tell how simple adaptations and learning of new techniques lead to a rich and fulfilling life.
